Micah Fleming made the long trip from Alabama to check out Clemson.

The 2027 cornerback out of Thompson (Alabaster, AL), was one of many rising high school juniors to visit on Saturday. Fleming comes from the same high school that produced current Clemson standouts T.J. Parker and Peter Woods.

“The visit went great,” Flemong told The Clemson Insider. “As soon as I walked into the building, I felt welcomed. Not only by coaches but the other staff as well.”

Fleming is coming off recent visits to Vanderbilt and North Carolina. He will make a stop at Georgia Tech in April, as well as Arkansas State. The Tar Heels have offered, as has Mississippi State.

Of all the visits he’s taken to this point, there is something that separates the Tigers.

“The food, nutrition and lifting were all top notch,” Fleming added. “And they give you the best resources you need.”

The 5-foot-10 defensive back was able to view a spring practice while on his visit to Clemson and the energy new defensive coordinator Tom Allen brings to the field stood out. However, the biggest thing might just have been how the staff made each of the recruits feel.

“Then, going out to practice, the intensity they brought to practice was amazing,” Fleming said. “They really cared about getting the players better and developed. They had a great team connection and it’s more than just football there. They made the recruits feel as if they were already a part of the team.”
